Seventeen farmers in the Ho West District of the Volta Region were awarded yesterday during this year’s District Farmers’ Day celebration held at Awudome Kwanta. Topping the list as the district’s best farmer was Gershon Aggor, a 51-year-old farmer from Awudome Kwanta, who took home a motorbike, sprayer, boots, and a certificate.
The first and second runner-ups, Mr. Wonder Sedoameda and Raphael Avunyra, were each awarded motorbikes, sprayers, and certificates. The theme for this year’s celebration was “Feed Ghana, Eat Ghana, Secure the Future.”
The Ho West District Chief Executive, Francis Dufe, in his speech, noted that the government had recognised the crucial role farmers and fishermen play in boosting food security in domestic production. He stressed the need for the youth to join aged farmers in growing more food to feed the nation. In view of this, government is determined to provide the necessary incentives and support to enable farmers to increase their output.
The DCE also acknowledged the numerous challenges facing farmers and assured them that the government would soon announce the construction of Farmers Service Centres, which would be equipped with agricultural tools and equipment. He expressed gratitude to the Member of Parliament for Ho West, Emmanuel Bedzrah, for donating three motorbikes.
Mr. Seth Asuo, Ho West District Agric Director, commended the award winners and sponsors and assured them that farm inputs would be made available at all times to increase yields. In his welcome address, Togbe Adzima Buasapa X, chief of Awudome Kwanta, noted that farming has long been the mainstay of the local economy. However, climate change has led to unstable and unpredictable rainfall. He advised the youth to take up farming as a profession, emphasizing that it has become a profitable venture.

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
